The 29-year-old Dutchman will remain with BORA - hansgrohe for the long term. In recent years, Danny van Poppel has proven that he is one of the best lead-out riders in the peloton, and he will continue to play this role in the team.
Danny remarks about the extension: "I am very happy and also proud that I've been able to extend my contract with BORA - hansgrohe. I have ridden for different teams in the past, but I finally feel that I have found the perfect team, both for me as a rider and as a person. My teammates and the team staff provide me with an excellent environment. I'm also grateful that the team has given me the chance to develop as a lead-out rider, and I think I'm now at a very high level thanks to that trust. I can't wait to continue on this path together with the team."
Team Manager Ralph Denk comments, "Danny has become a permanent fixture in our team. Currently, he is likely the best lead-out rider in the peloton, but for us he is also an important all-rounder and a leader. Many of our riders can benefit from his experience and with him in the lead-out, every sprinter becomes better. So there was no question that we wanted to keep Danny at BORA - hansgrohe and I am glad that we have achieved this. This extension is an important cornerstone of our squad planning for the coming years."
